two lengthy talks with the prisoner, occupy

He stated, to USE his own words, THAT man

Mr. Kerou's opinion is that Kasper became
intoxicated at a birthday party in New
York, and, while in such condition, visited
the museum, and there saw on exhibition the
wax repre- entation Of the murdered girl,
and that he got it into his head that he was
the person that committed the crime. He

Another Heary INnilure.

CINCINNATI, June % Following on and
as part of the failure Of the Fidelity Ma
tional bank came the assignment Of the
enormous iron business of E. L. Harper &
Co. to Eugene Zimmerman. Z. L. Harper
s; Co. controlled perhaps the greatest iron
interests west OF the Alleghanies. This in
cludes the Riverside rolling mill, at Cullom
Station, Riverside, and the extensive works
in Newport, KY, employing thousands of
men.
Mr.. Harper, the vice president Of the
bank, makes an individual assignment of his
entire property, giving up everything to Lis
creditors. He is ruined man. Everything
he. possesses has been turned over to his
creditors.
Mr.. Harper has transferred twenty-five
lots to the Fidelity bank, and a half interest
in two others. However, ha cannot pay
what he owes the bank in this way. Ac-
cor6ing to all accounts that is a hopeless
debt.
Joseph w. Wiltshire transferred to E. L.
Harper great deal of real estate situated
in different parts Of the city on prominent
stree,a
This, no doubt, was done to secure the
bank from any failure on the part Of the
grantor to pay 81 l,OO000O, which be- VIII
shire, Is alleged to have borrowed without
the directors consent and conveyed to
Chicago for the late wheat deal
Joseph Wish 10 has also gone up. He has
transferred his property TO Mr.. Harper,
who in turn transfers everything to his cred
itors

LAKE DISASTER.
Eight Lives LosE BY the Sinking Of a
Steam Barge.

CLEvELANp, o., June ~. "A terrible acci-
dent occurred on Lake Ere last evening, in
which eight human souls went down to
death without a moment's warning. The
steam barge P. II. Walter, loaded with
stone at MarbleheAd, started for Cleveland
yesterday afternoon, having on board ths
captain, j. G.. Gillespie; j. NJ Flora, mate;
an engineer, fireman, two deck hands and a
cook, and Captain Gillespie's wife and four
children. About O'clock after the hoat
had got well started on her trip, a heavy
squal struck the barge and capszed her be-
fore any precautions could be taken, 1lling
her from che matches, and the result was
that the water rushed down the matches and
filed the barge whils some of the crew
were resting below. The boat went down
with twelve persons aboard, and out Of this
number but four were saved. The names OF
those lost are Mrs. Gillespie and two chill
dren, the engineer AMI fireman, Peter
Pauley and Gus Shafer deck hands, and
Mrs Pauley, cook
The captain and his two children and ].
H. Flora, the mlte were saved by catching
onto the hatchas as thsy floated by, and
from which a raft was constructed. All
during tne light tho four persons foatel
about aud this msruiny about O'clock the
steamer Pearl, on her way to Cleveland
picked them up anu brought them to this
city.
Capt. Gillespie said to reporter: II can't
say what caused the boat to capsise unless it
was cyclone. We had no idea there was
going to be blow Of this kinl We saved
nothing, not even our clothiny from ths
wreck, Ny wife and children were aboard
for pleasure trip. The boat went down
and nothing can bs seen of her, noI even the
masts.n
